Make Your Voice Heard — The Riverside Community Quality of Life Survey

Our friends over at Seizing Our Destiny wanted us to pass along some information to you! Make sure to answer your phones the next couple of weeks and take the time to complete the Riverside Community Quality of Life Survey.

Over the next couple of weeks, those who work and/or live in Riverside will have the opportunity to provide opinions and feedback regarding the quality of life in our community. The purpose of this effort is to measure and set benchmarks aligned with the Seizing Our Destiny visionand spark community-wide engagement that promotes and continues to improve our quality of life.

From March 16-24, 2013 some residents will receive calls to their home and/or mobile phone asking them to participate in a short random phone survey about their quality of life in Riverside. Participation in the survey will help to provide community groups and decision makers with important information concerning what residents think about living in our city. The caller ID for these calls will read CSUSB, as researchers from our regional California State University will be conducting the survey on Riverside’s behalf.

If you receive a phone call, don’t hang up! The researchers will NOT ask for your name, your social security number or your immigration status – just your opinions! Your identity and survey responses will remain confidential. Please share your thoughts to make Riverside a better place to live and work.

If you don’t receive a call, anyone who lives or works in Riverside is encouraged to share their thoughts through an online version of the survey which will be available at www.RiversideSurvey.com from April 1-30, 2013.

Phone, online and hard copy surveys will be available in English or Spanish.

I encourage you to take the opportunity to participate in this process as it is all of us, and what we hope Riverside to be, that makes our city so unique and special.
